As the subpage support is
sort of an isolated feature we could afford to get the first batch of
code in and continue polishing. Read-only suppot with 64k/4k is a good
milestone so I'm not worried too much about some smaller things left
behind, as long as the default case page size == sectorsize works.
Yeah, that's the core design of current subpage support, all subpage
will be handled in a different routine, leaving minimal impact to
existing code.
Tests of this branch are still running but so far so good. I'll add it
as a topic branch to for-next for testing and my current plan is to push
it to misc-next soon, targeting 5.12.
That's great to hear.
In the subpage branch
- Metadata read write and balance
Not yet full tested due to data write still has bugs need to be
solved.
But considering that metadata operations from previous iteration
is mostly untouched, metadata read write should be pretty stable.
I assume the bugs are for the 64k/4k usecase.
Yes, at least the 4K case passes fstests in my local env.
I'd done a pre-merge pass last week with fixups in changlogs, subjects
and some coding style fixes but that was before Josef's comments. Some
of them still need updates but I also don't want to throw away my
changes. (Ideally I don't have to do them at all, you can get the gist
of what are the most common things I'm fixing by comparing both versions.)
Please have a look at the branch ext/qu/subpage-v4 in my github repo,
the patches are in the same order as in this posted patchset. If the
patch does not change you can keep it as is, I'll reuse what I have.
Already doing this, using the ext/qu/subpage-v4 as base, so all your
modification should still be there.
Thanks,
Qu
For the final merge of the read-only support, patch 1 could be dropped
as discussed. The rest is hopefully ok to go, please resend, thanks.
